Open up and break into another world

“Hiss—”

The entire arena instantly fell silent.

Fourth floor!

They hadn't misseen, the fourth floor of the Tower of True Self lit up! This meant… Xu Ming had already passed the third floor!

All the geniuses were in shock, unable to recover for a long time!

Xu Ming's name also jumped to the “First” position on the Tower of True Self—no other genius had been able to pass the third floor of the Tower of True Self; only Xu Ming had passed it, so this "First" throne was naturally well-deserved!

After a long while, exclamations rose one after another.

“Xu Ming… passed the third floor?”

“How is that possible!? Wasn't Xu Ming unable to even pass the first floor before? How could he suddenly…”

“It seems that no one has ever seen Xu Ming challenge the Tower of True Self, right? Maybe Xu Ming couldn't pass the first floor, but simply never challenged it…”

“Xu Ming's strength is suppressed by two hundred times! He can still pass the third floor! Could it be… during the screening battle, if there were enough puppets, could Xu Ming really fight ten million of them?”

Previously, no genius thought that Xu Ming could “fight ten million of them”; they even thought it was a joke.

But now, the geniuses had to suspect that Xu Ming probably really had the strength to “fight ten million of them”!

After all, although they hadn't seen Xu Ming take action with their own eyes, the fourth floor that lit up on the Tower of True Self wouldn't lie!

Immediately afterwards, all the geniuses once again held their breaths and stared intently, their eyes fixed on the Tower of True Self: “Can Xu Ming… pass the fourth floor?”

The other geniuses hadn't even passed the third floor, let alone know what the fourth floor was like.

If Xu Ming passed the fourth floor, that would be really amazing!

…

Fourth floor of the Tower of True Self.

A Kun, comparable to hundreds of Divine Domains in size, wandered in the endless void.

The Divine Body of this Kun seemed both real and illusory, as if it were between reality and illusion.

However… Xu Ming didn't even want to waste a minute on this Dao Mirror Kun.

“Passing the first three floors of the Tower of True Self will respectively grant the 《True Self Character Codex》, 《Foundation of the True Self Realm》, and 《Complete Explanation of the True Self Realm》.

However, passing the fourth floor grants nothing!”

Since he wouldn't get anything, Xu Ming naturally didn't bother to try.

“Let's just leave it at that! I should go out and cultivate first!” Xu Ming entered this ancient city not to play with the Kun, but to make good use of the cultivation environment from the True Universe.

After all, once this opportunity was gone, he didn't know when he would be able to enjoy the cultivation environment of the True Universe again!

“Exit!” Xu Ming didn't even fight the Dao Mirror Kun and directly left the Tower of True Self.

Whoosh!

A mysterious force enveloped Xu Ming and directly teleported him outside the Tower of True Self.

“Hmm?” Xu Ming frowned slightly, “So many people?”

Needless to say, these people must have come to watch.

Xu Ming disdained to stay and directly disappeared.

The geniuses were in another round of discussion:

“He actually came out of the fourth floor so quickly?”

“What kind of monster is on the fourth floor of the Tower of True Self? —Xu Ming passed the third floor, but couldn't even last a moment on the fourth floor before retreating?”

“In any case, Xu Ming's ability to pass the third floor has already proven his strength!”

The other geniuses naturally didn't know that Xu Ming didn't fail to pass the fourth floor, but was “too lazy to try”!

…

After Xu Ming left, he first went to the True Self Book Pavilion to collect the three codices; then, he directly returned to the building where he had been cultivating.

“《True Self Character Codex》…”

This codex was actually like a “dictionary”, mainly explaining the meaning of True Self Characters.

Learning characters was naturally easy for someone at Xu Ming's level; Xu Ming scanned the codex with his Divine Sense and completely memorized it.

“The meaning of these characters on the wall is…”

Xu Ming finally understood—before, Xu Ming couldn't understand the meaning of these characters, and could only comprehend the “artistic conception” produced by the combination of these characters; now that he understood them, he instantly had a deeper understanding.

“So that's how it is… My previous comprehension was actually a bit off track!”

Xu Ming couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

You should know that if Xu Ming had continued to cultivate before, he would have broken through to the “Second Order of True Self” in an unorthodox way; if he wanted to correct it in the future, it would probably take several times the effort.

Fortunately, Xu Ming discovered his problem before breaking through to the “Second Order of True Self”.

Speaking of which, Xu Ming's cultivation being interrupted by Zhang Mu's challenge may not have been a bad thing, but a good thing instead.

“I didn't expect Zhang Mu to unintentionally do a good thing… If I had known, I wouldn't have slapped him so hard!” Xu Ming couldn't help but recall Zhang Mu being slapped by him in the Void Universe Battlefield to the point of doubting his life.

The newest and most complete novels are at 69shuba.com!

However, since he had already slapped him, Xu Ming could only mourn for Zhang Mu a little.

Although he had a deeper understanding, Xu Ming was not in a hurry to break through.

“Let's take a look at 《Foundation of the True Self Realm》 and 《Complete Explanation of the True Self Realm》 first!”

These two codices were some of the most basic explanations of the True Self Realm, with the latter being more detailed and in-depth than the former.

If Xu Ming's current understanding of the True Self Realm was a rootless duckweed conjured out of thin air; then, these two codices were like adding foundation and soil to Xu Ming's True Self Realm!

“It's actually like this!”

“So that's how it is!”

As Xu Ming read, he frequently exclaimed in surprise.

Indeed, his previous guesses about the True Self Realm were too wishful thinking! If Xu Ming hadn't obtained these two codices, he probably wouldn't have discovered his problem even if he had cultivated to the “Third Order of True Self”.

Not only Xu Ming, but all the geniuses in the Void Universe also had the situation of “unstable foundation”! After all, the cultivation conditions in the Void Universe were far worse than those in the True Universe!

At the same time, Xu Ming also understood why the geniuses of the True Universe were so strong! —Their cultivation conditions were too good! If the geniuses of the Void Universe were given the same cultivation conditions, Xu Ming believed that they would definitely not be worse than those geniuses of the True Universe!

It was a pity that the geniuses of the Void Universe could not obtain the same cultivation conditions!

Thinking of this, Xu Ming couldn't help but rejoice that he had entered the Eternal Battlefield and obtained this opportunity.

“Speaking of which, I should be grateful to Gong Taihao instead…” Xu Ming's entry into the Eternal Battlefield was definitely related to Gong Taihao.

However, Xu Ming would definitely not let Gong Taihao off the hook because of this.

If there was a chance, Xu Ming would definitely not be polite to Gong Taihao!

“Continue to comprehend!”

When Xu Ming finished reading the two codices, 《Foundation of the True Self Realm》 and 《Complete Explanation of the True Self Realm》, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

“Second Order of True Self!”

Xu Ming's eyes lit up, and he saw the path to the “Second Order of True Self” clearly and perfectly.
